As part of the meeting, a historic Partnership Agreement was signed by the Government of the Bahamas, reinforcing their commitment to support Special Olympics in its goal to “improve the lives of people with intellectual disabilities."

Highlights of the agreement include property at the Queen Elizabeth Center for the construction of the Special Olympics Complex, an annual financial grant, and the promotion of persons with intellectual disabilities.
